[b]"We can start the war right here, or we can start the war on a ground of our choosing, but we need to start it." [/b]Varrick was already drawing his sword when Masef pointed out the new arrivals. The truth was, the place was probably already surrounded. Not even Brand's brood was going to make it out of there without shedding blood. The young lord Tuldar had seen the village's guardsmen on his way in, and he knew their sort. Thieves and brigands, after a quick coin. He had killed plenty. They would break.

Varrick heard a rasp of metal on metal emanating from the door. Someone was trying to force the lock. He looked his brother in the eye. [color=f7941d][b]"The war's already started, Masef."[/b][/color] Varrick shrugged out of his cloak and turned to the door. [b][color=f7941d]"So let's get to fighting it!"[/color][/b] 

Varrick kicked the door open, sending the man on the other side reeling. He took the chance to stab him in the gut before stepping back to the side of the doorframe. He could've charged out into the black of the night, but the guardsmen were cowards. They probably had crossbows trained on every exit. The bastards were going to have to come to them.
